The exhaust pipe expander most likely will work, Rusty
- especially on that thin walled SS. I have found that the 304 SS is more
ductile than the mild steel to work and I have used expanders to swag the thin
wall tubing. I generally hook up a air impact wrench to the expander
and let the impacing force force the tube wider.

And 321 is even more ductile than 304, wonderful stuff to work with and
weld. I use the pipe expander & impact wrench trick on .035 &
.049. Works great depending on quality of hardware in expanders. The
threads get galled up pretty quick on cheepies.

Thanks
to you both. Finally, something might work out right :-)
One benefit to ordering this stuff from some place other than Spruce, is
that I can probably get them to throw in some small scrap pieces
for welding, and expansion practice.
Cheers,
Rusty
